The intensive trapeze workshop is an 8-week course focused on improving the individual student's core flying skills. Each class is 2 hours long with a maximum of ten (10) students per class. The classes meet on a regularly scheduled day and time (e.g., every Tuesday from 7:00 – 9:00 pm).
During the first class, the student and a TSNY instructor will sit down and develop a curriculum specifically tailored to each student’s skill level and needs. The curriculum will address core skills the student needs to develop as well as focus on other skills and goals the student is interested in reaching during the program (e.g., learning a layout, being able to take off by oneself, learning a return off the catcher, learning a swing).
Learning Environment
To facilitate the best learning environment, we do our best to ensure that the same instructors are present throughout the workshop—providing a more personal way of teaching, improving the consistency of the communication, and resulting in better evaluations of the student’s progression. In addition, the instructors will heavily utilize the recently deployed digital video recording technology to review and analyze your flying with you—as soon as you come down from the net we will review a video of your flying and make suggestions to significantly increase your learning curve.

Reservations, Refunds & Cancellations
Reservations are first-come, first serve. The entire workshop fee must be paid in advance.
If for any reason there are less than 7 students registered for a workshop, TSNY reserves the right to cancel the scheduled workshop.
If TSNY cancels a workshop, registrants will receive a refund. All other reservations are nonrefundable.
The 72-hour cancellation/refund policy for regular classes does not apply to the intensive workshops.
If You Have to Miss a Class...
If you cannot attend a class, and if TSNY is running multiple workshops, you may swap your class spot with a student in another workshop. To facilitate this process, we have set up a Yahoo! trapeze group that will allow students to quickly email their fellow students regarding class openings. The Yahoo! group address is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Beantown_IFW/. Students will be responsible for paying each other back.
